A fact from Styriarte appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 September 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
"Styriarte (also written styriarte) is an annual summer festival of classical music in Graz and Styria, Austria." is the present first sentence. I think it is misleading, because "styriarte" is not some alternative name, but the name that the festival gave itself, which is followed by some who write about it, but not by others. How can that be expressed? It's tricky to do within the brackets right after the name, because we can't speak yet about something (the festival) while explaining that it is a festival. My suggestion: "Styriarte is an annual summer festival of classical music in Graz and Styria, Austria, ... The festival styles its name styriarte". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My proposal: Styriarte (often stylized as styriarte) ... Grimes2 (talk) 13:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
or translate what the original German article has "... (Eigenschreibweise styriarte oder STYRIARTE) ..." --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I find "Eigenschreibweise" an impossible word - one of the reasons I write in English - and would not know an English equivalent. "often" is better than "also" but doesn't capture that its their own name styling. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:49, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Eigenschreibweise=official style? Grimes2 (talk) 15:08, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If anything it shows a deviation of official orthography rules (if they have any such in Austria). "Eigenschreibweise" means "how they write it themselves" (thus rather an affectation than something official, something like the capitalisation of the first word in this phrase: "i don't like spelling rules"). --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:20, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
